Spin Hall effect driven photocurrent in nonmagnetic single metals

Taiki Nishijima, Ryo Ohshima, Youichi Yanase, Ryota Ishii, Masashi Shiraishi, and Yuichiro Ando

Phys. Rev. B 111, L140406 (2025) - Published 10 April, 2025

The authors unveil here the unexplored potential of nonmagnetic single-element metals by focusing on one type of nonlinear phenomenon: photocurrent generation induced by spin accumulation at the material edges. Distinctive behavior at the material edges, where the spatial symmetry is intrinsically broken, leads to observation of the nonlinear phenomenon. The resulting photocurrent is associated with both time-reversal symmetry breaking and space-inversion symmetry breaking. This groundbreaking observation challenges the prevailing notion that nonlinear phenomena are exclusively observed in more exotic materials.

Electron-magnon coupling mediated magnetotransport in antiferromagnetic van der Waals heterostructures

Sujan Maity, Soumik Das, Mainak Palit, Koushik Dey, Bikash Das, Tanima Kundu, Rahul Paramanik, Binoy Krishna De, Hemant Singh Kunwar, and Subhadeep Datta

Phys. Rev. B 111, L140407 (2025) - Published 16 April, 2025

Magnons — wavelike spin excitations in magnets — transfer energy and information without moving charge, like ripples on water. Here, the authors find that in FePS3, an antiferromagnetic insulator, magnons interact with the electrons of few-layer graphene when in a heterostructure, enabling spin waves to convert into electrical signals. In FePS3, magnons soften below 40 K, reducing stiffness with cooling, while few-layer graphene exhibits negative magnetoresistance at low fields (±0.2 T) up to 100 K, transitioning to positive beyond this point. This experiment also proposes a “magnon capacitor”, where spin waves regulate charge transport by influencing carrier dynamics at the interface. With possible applications in energy-efficient computing, this breakthrough advances next-generation spintronic technologies.

Slow measurement-only dynamics of entanglement in Pauli subsystem codes

Benedikt Placke and S. A. Parameswaran

Phys. Rev. B 111, 144308 (2025) - Published 15 April, 2025

The authors explore here the measurement-only dynamics of a class of models built from subsystem error correcting codes and uncover a wide range of features in entanglement dynamics, with a surprising connection to Hilbert-space fragmentation.

Exact spectral form factors of noninteracting fermions with Dyson statistics

Tatsuhiko N. Ikeda, Lev Vidmar, and Michael O. Flynn

Phys. Rev. B 111, 144312 (2025) - Published 23 April, 2025

Random matrix theory (RMT) is a cornerstone of quantum dynamics that predicts universal features of interacting many-body systems. Here, the authors establish exact methods to compute the spectral form factor (SFF) of noninteracting models whose single-particle states exhibit random matrix statistics. This regime is characterized by exponential growth of the SFF, in sharp contrast to the linear growth of typical interacting systems. These exact results provide a rigorous foundation for future studies of the crossover to many-body RMT and the onset of thermalization.

Probing Hilbert space fragmentation with strongly interacting Rydberg atoms

Fan Yang, Hadi Yarloo, Hua-Chen Zhang, Klaus Mølmer, and Anne E. B. Nielsen

Phys. Rev. B 111, 144313 (2025) - Published 24 April, 2025

Hilbert space fragmentation provides a novel route to ergodicity breaking in isolated quantum many-body systems. The authors present here a feasible scheme to systematically explore Hilbert space fragmentation in a Rydberg atom array. They show that asymmetric quasiparticle transport can be used to tune Krylov-subspace ergodicity, and that atomic position disorder can selectively induce a many-body localization transition. The proposed scheme is expected to be realized on state-of-the-art Rydberg quantum simulators.

Estimation of spin-orbit torques in the presence of current-induced magnon creation and annihilation

Paul Noel, Emir Karadža, Richard Schlitz, Pol Welter, Charles-Henri Lambert, Luca Nessi, Federico Binda, Christian L. Degen, and Pietro Gambardella

Phys. Rev. B 111, 144409 (2025) - Published 9 April, 2025

Current-induced spin-orbit torques (SOTs) are widely used to control magnetization in spintronic devices. However, the electrical injection of spin currents, which drives the SOTs, also generates and annihilates magnons, affecting both magnetization and magnetoresistance. This work demonstrates that neglecting magnonic effects can significantly overestimate the damping-like torque and misestimate the magnitude and sign of the field-like torque. By combining magneto-optical Kerr effect and magnetotransport measurements, the authors propose here a method for accurately assessing SOTs. These findings highlight the importance of considering magnon contributions to improve the reliability of SOT quantification across different material systems.

Moving skyrmions in antiferromagnets by sublattice displacements

Michael Lau, Wolfgang Häusler, and Michael Thorwart

Phys. Rev. B 111, 144411 (2025) - Published 11 April, 2025

Magnetic skyrmions are topologically protected swirls in magnets. They behave like quasiparticles which, in ferromagnets, don’t exhibit inertial mass. In antiferromagnets, a skyrmion can be viewed as composed of two coupled ferromagnetic skyrmions of opposite orientation. Interestingly, antiferromagnetic skyrmions behave like classical particles, with finite inertial mass. Here, the authors trace this mass generation back to a small displacement between the sublattice skyrmions that arises when applying forces to the skyrmion. They further predict the velocity of a current-driven antiferromagnetic skyrmion.

Eliashberg theory and superfluid stiffness of band-off-diagonal pairing in twisted graphene

Bernhard Putzer and Mathias S. Scheurer

Phys. Rev. B 111, 144513 (2025) - Published 28 April, 2025

Superconductivity typically involves Cooper pairs forming between degenerate electronic states. This work examines an unconventional case where pairing occurs exclusively between nondegenerate, off-resonant bands, motivated by recent experimental observations in twisted graphene systems. The authors uncover a range of unusual phenomena, including modified thermal phase transitions, coexistence of normally incompatible frequency dependencies, and distinctive temperature behavior of the superfluid stiffness. These results provide theoretical insights into the mechanisms and signatures of band-off-diagonal superconductivity and offer a compelling framework for interpreting experimental results.

Translation symmetry restoration under random unitary dynamics

Katja Klobas, Colin Rylands, and Bruno Bertini

Phys. Rev. B 111, L140304 (2025) - Published 8 April, 2025

The authors study here how a system initialized in a non translationally symmetric initial state eventually becomes translationally invariant. They consider the average distance between the time-evolved state, and its translationally symmetric counterpart under the dynamics given by a brickwork circuit with randomly chosen local unitary gates. They find that the timescale for the restoration of translational symmetry coincides with the thermalization time, suggesting that the memory of initial state is not immediately lost, but rather persists until times comparable with the system size.

Near room-temperature ferromagnetism from double exchange in the van der Waals material CrGeTe3: Evidence from optical conductivity under pressure

Jihaan Ebad-Allah, Daniel Guterding, Meera Varma, Mangesh Diware, Shraddha Ganorkar, Harald O. Jeschke, and Christine A. Kuntscher

Phys. Rev. B 111, L140402 (2025) - Published 1 April, 2025

The van der Waals material CrGeTe3 is a ferromagnetic charge-transfer insulator at ambient pressure. When compressed, the material transforms into a semimetal with near room temperature ferromagnetism. Here, the authors present temperature- and pressure-dependent measurements of its optical conductivity, combined with density functional theory and dynamical mean-field theory calculations. A novel approach to analyzing the experimental data reveals that the pressure-induced insulator-to-metal transition alters the mechanism of ferromagnetism in CrGeTe3 from superexchange to double exchange.

Orbital pumping by magnetization dynamics in ferromagnets

Dongwook Go, Kazuya Ando, Armando Pezo, Stefan Blügel, Aurélien Manchon, and Yuriy Mokrousov

Phys. Rev. B 111, L140409 (2025) - Published 16 April, 2025

The authors theoretically predict here that magnetization dynamics in ferromagnets can pump orbital angular momentum, establishing it as the Onsager reciprocal process of orbital torque, where orbital angular momentum drives magnetization dynamics. This orbital pumping mechanism enables the generation of orbital angular momentum through ferromagnetic resonance via an rf field, incoherent magnons from laser heating, and other means. First-principles calculations reveal that orbital pumping in ferromagnetic Ni is significantly stronger than in Fe, aligning with recent experimental observations.

Pressure-induced superconductivity, amorphization, and topological phase transitions in the topological semimetal MoP4

Phys. Rev. B 111, L140502 (2025) - Published 3 April, 2025

Pressure-induced superconductivity in topological materials offers a promising avenue for discovering the so-called topological superconductors. Here, the authors report the emergence of pressure-induced superconductivity, amorphization, and topological quantum phase transitions in the topological semimetal MoP4. Notably, they observed unexpected superconducting fluctuations concurrent with the amorphous phase transition, extending up to Tsf ~ 20 K, an exceptionally high value besides high-temperature superconductors. These findings position MoP4 as a compelling platform for investigating the intricate interplay between superconductivity, amorphization, and topological phenomena.

Phys. Rev. B 111, 144312 (2025) - Published 23 April, 2025

Random matrix theory (RMT) is a cornerstone of quantum dynamics that predicts universal features of interacting many-body systems. Here, the authors establish exact methods to compute the spectral form factor (SFF) of noninteracting models whose single-particle states exhibit random matrix statistics. This regime is characterized by exponential growth of the SFF, in sharp contrast to the linear growth of typical interacting systems. These exact results provide a rigorous foundation for future studies of the crossover to many-body RMT and the onset of thermalization.

Hilbert space fragmentation provides a novel route to ergodicity breaking in isolated quantum many-body systems. The authors present here a feasible scheme to systematically explore Hilbert space fragmentation in a Rydberg atom array. They show that asymmetric quasiparticle transport can be used to tune Krylov-subspace ergodicity, and that atomic position disorder can selectively induce a many-body localization transition. The proposed scheme is expected to be realized on state-of-the-art Rydberg quantum simulators.

Current-induced spin-orbit torques (SOTs) are widely used to control magnetization in spintronic devices. However, the electrical injection of spin currents, which drives the SOTs, also generates and annihilates magnons, affecting both magnetization and magnetoresistance. This work demonstrates that neglecting magnonic effects can significantly overestimate the damping-like torque and misestimate the magnitude and sign of the field-like torque. By combining magneto-optical Kerr effect and magnetotransport measurements, the authors propose here a method for accurately assessing SOTs. These findings highlight the importance of considering magnon contributions to improve the reliability of SOT quantification across different material systems.

Moving skyrmions in antiferromagnets by sublattice displacements

Magnetic skyrmions are topologically protected swirls in magnets. They behave like quasiparticles which, in ferromagnets, don’t exhibit inertial mass. In antiferromagnets, a skyrmion can be viewed as composed of two coupled ferromagnetic skyrmions of opposite orientation. Interestingly, antiferromagnetic skyrmions behave like classical particles, with finite inertial mass. Here, the authors trace this mass generation back to a small displacement between the sublattice skyrmions that arises when applying forces to the skyrmion. They further predict the velocity of a current-driven antiferromagnetic skyrmion.

Phys. Rev. B 111, 144513 (2025) - Published 28 April, 2025

Superconductivity typically involves Cooper pairs forming between degenerate electronic states. This work examines an unconventional case where pairing occurs exclusively between nondegenerate, off-resonant bands, motivated by recent experimental observations in twisted graphene systems. The authors uncover a range of unusual phenomena, including modified thermal phase transitions, coexistence of normally incompatible frequency dependencies, and distinctive temperature behavior of the superfluid stiffness. These results provide theoretical insights into the mechanisms and signatures of band-off-diagonal superconductivity and offer a compelling framework for interpreting experimental results.
